Lagoon.

It is time for another clinic at the lagoon, although we aim it at the little fellas all are welcome especially if you looking for tips, the little guys will show you. Tomorrow we are going to focus on drift baits and float fishing. We will be teaching them about the methodology behind using a drift bait verse a sinker bait.

 

Surf.

 Don’t try not catch a Diamond because you will get one, they are taking literally any bait. One angler said to me when they see an angler coming over the dune they start flapping out of the water. Besides Diamonds, very big Honey Comb Rays and Giant Guitar fish were caught last weekend and into this week. We are expecting a lot of flat fish to be caught over this weekend. Conditions may not be perfect but they certainly good enough to get a stretch or 2 going. Edibles, mostly Shad and Snapper are been caught with the odd Pompano, these are been caught on Chokka Sard or Chokka prawn combo’s and the good old Shad chomping away at anything.

Ski Boat.

Last night 2 boats too advantage of the conditions and went for a night fish, both are not back yet but we suspect they were on the fish, apart from this morning the weather does no look too good for Deep Sea fishing, tomorrow from about 2pm the South comes through for the rest of the weekend.
